DEPTFORD TWP. — Police sources say reports of a decorated Philadelphia police officer threatening to blow up a building near the intersection of Shetland Way and Route 47 are unfounded.

At around 6:30 p.m., emergency scanner reports indicated that police had a suspect under arrest after he had threatened to blow up a building at the Inverness Apartments complex, located off of Delsea Drive. The report also indicated that the man was a "decorated former Philadelphia police officer."

According to police sources, the unnamed man was not a former member of the Philadelphia Police Department and was "just in stress" when he made a call to the Deptford Police Department threatening to harm himself.

Sources say that the surrounding area was not in any immediate danger and that police response to the area was a more of a precautionary measure and could've lead to reports being overblown.

Initial reports indicated that spotlights were called in to illuminate the scene.

No charges were pressed against the man stemming from the incident and the man has been taken to a hospital crisis unit, according to sources.
